Wonderful illustrations in this simple story about a trip across Canada. Light on the details of the places they stop, had hoped to learn more about the Canadian provinces and what they have to offer as travel destinations.

Oh, what a delightful picture book. What a great way to show kids, and teach them, about what Canada is made up of, just in time for the 150 anniversary of the articles of confederation. (When Canada became independent.)
The story is basic. Carson and his master have to travel from the west coast...

Read for my son. He doesn't like it much. Not a lot of adventures. The cover has the car, he expected there'll be car and road trip adventures but it was about the dog instead. Thanks to NetGalley for the review copy. Our opinions are honest.

Hmmm. Not as interesting as I thought it could be. I was kind of expecting a little background to Canada. So many places could of at least been mentions. Basically, it's just a story about an older woman and her dog driving across the country and camping along the way with little or no words abou...

I love a road trip and as a transplanted Canadian I was eager to share this with my little ones. The story is sweet enough, but it is a little light in the details. I was expecting more description about Canadian landmarks, instead it is more about a dog's excitement about being in a car. It didn...

About the author

Linda Bailey I was born and grew up in Winnipeg —a daydreamer with her nose in a book. In my twenties, I traveled around the world, mostly by ship. Later, I moved to Vancouver, where I earned a B.A. and M.Ed. at the University of British Columbia. Among my jobs were travel agent, college teacher, instructional designer and editor.

For years, I dabbled with writing. But I didn't begin to write in earnest until I had two young daughters. My first book was published in 1992, and I have since written more than thirty others, including novels, picture books and non-fiction.

I live in Vancouver, a short walk from the sea. I write full-time and still love to travel, read and daydream. - Source
